As the final activity of the year, Mrs. Beck's English 10 Honors classes listened to artist and poet Dr. Gooden read selections of poetry from her book Night Forms. She also discussed what it was like growing up in Birmingham, Alabama during the Civil Rights Movement. Additionally, Honors students did an awesome job reading an original poem with Dr. Gooden that they wrote using one of her poems as a model. After the students left class, Dr. Gooden took time to autograph her second poetry book for them.
